    "Wax" on car. I want ceramic. What steps?

    i put on ceramic myself when i first got it. since it was new i didn't have to polish, just clayed due to an open trailer long distance transport dirt. a few hours of elbow grease but it's been shining for the last couple yrs. add to it a few hours stripping the wax layer, diy is great.

    Phone mount suggestions

    i used this mount, works extremely solid on top of dashboard, it blocks the view of the analog dials but can be moved easily if needed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1HP8N5D?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

    9AT jerks forward when stopping?

    Yes i felt this jerk at stops often and thought it was the firmware/software part and was thinking of bringing it up when next time with dealer service. the jerk is relative powerful and startling, it should be considered an issue for nissan to solve.
